Marriage is a Journey of Love

I set out on this journey on May 22nd, 2009. It is a path that thus far has been the most blissful, and wonderful path I've ever walked. I have found a whole new sense of purpose, and a wonderful awe at the way God works. Though I dreamed of this, I never thought I would ever find such a lovely thing.

I remember well and cherish the beginning of our relationship. I keenly remember every one of my uncertain, wavering steps, and how confidently and sweetly he held my hand. What a task he had, to coax me along this road. How much fear and doubt I suffered, and yet now it all seems so remote.

Looking back I remember only the joy, only the sweetest moments. I feel only the sweet relief of renewed faith after the storm of tears.

And he was so patient, so wonderfully gentle with me. He never let go, and I do believe he never will.

I cannot thank God enough for this love He has given me, for this husband he has allowed to be mine. I will not say things have always been easy. I'm certain we will face our fair share of trials, and I cannot say I have not cried since our marriage. But now such trials are mild, mere shadows of clouds flitting across my beautiful sunrise.

I have heard people say that our love will deepen, through trial and smile, and to this I look forward.
